You can study, gain converts, perform devotions, work, OR enter a challenge
fight.  Yes, challenge fights offer double the EP, with a maximum of 10EP
for a win.  25% yield is good for now.

I'll work on one for the FAQ.  Generally, it's like 10-15% wounds per level
statement.

> Bow vs. Crossbow vs. Sling

I would have to say it's like most roleplaying games.  Sling is fastest to
reload, but does only like a 1d3.  Bow is moderate to reload, and does
moderate damage 1d6.  Crossbow is very slow to reload, weighs the most, but
does the most damage 1d8-1d10 probably.  Most characters pick up bow, but
if you're hurting on strength/carry ability, I'd go with sling.

> Destiny points without having a patron diety

Right now, there are only one or two things that destiny points do.  The
first is AUTOMATIC return from death after all other attempts have failed.
You'll need 50 destiny points for this (takes a while :) ).  The second use
I'll put in the FAQ as it's unconfirmed right now.

Jamethiel has put a list together (15 scoutings at historical society).  I
asked her for a copy and will post it in the FAQ when I get it.  Right now,
I'm unsure as to how Hugh has it set up.  Does a scout at the historical
society count only towards that one city, or to all three cities?
